My manuscript has no stakes.
I know who my main characters are, and I know what they want *emotionally.* But what are their *material* needs?
This is shaping up to be a quest novel, but I'm having trouble figuring out what the quest is (ostensibly) for. I don't know what the bad guys *want,* and I don't know why the good guys can't let them have it. UH OH.
And even if, for the heroes, the bad guys being bad guys might be enough... why should these villains scare us ordinary schmoes?
AND, what the hell does love got to do with it?
